How many jeets compared to frogs?

I don't run into as many in my industry to be honest.

So is it just all in my head that I keep running into French ones?

Ran into several making asses of themselves in New York then in Chicago

I don't know that I've ever run into many from France. I can't think of any. Maybe your area has a company more focused on those? The number from France is exceptionally low from what I recall.

Too many.

The answer is ALWAYS too many.

Perhaps your destined to run into French H1B1 visa holders for the rest of your life for some silly reason. On the bright side I would think it's better to encounter dozens of them rather then their Indian counterparts.

Well, French is just as bad to be honest. Especially when they expect you to work over time so they can go on a 3 month vacation after their very hard work of drafting an email, then management uses you to pick up all their extra work

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA): “We can't let them deport the millions of families across this country... look at the food on your table. Think about who picked it.”

Thats right "we cant loose our slaves, whos going to harvest the crops?". Who would have known we could be heading to another national conflict over low cost labor.

Maybe our Confederate Ancestors were just wanting to make sure no one got "deported" as thats what Lincoln was initially proposing. Maybe we can get our monument put back up now.

Exactly! That's fucking disgusting. Only clean, white robot hands should touch my produce.

Listen I have argued elsewhere in this thread how the croissant is literally the peak of Western Civilization in food form (and compared the dinner roll that is a bagel). A croissant is not merely a piece of bread. It is the culmination of a process which must be perfect. It is at once as simple as it is complex. It is elegance with butter. Does India even have a pastry product??????

I agree with you there.

It was picked by slaves in another country. The US doesn't grow food anymore except soybeans for ethanol. Im joking, but the amount of food that was handled in America is shockingly low.

They really like flatbread apparently if that means anything.

I can't believe they're still using lines like this, but I suppose it's because Democrats are so insular and pay no attention to anyone else's point of view.

Fine; progressives simply want their food harvested by an untouchable caste making less than minimum wage with no health insurance and no benefits, and they should be reminded of this at every opportunity, since they also think of themselves as the champions of worker's rights, living wages, and all that shit.

Oh yeah Naan. My wife perfected it in an hour. Bagels ezmode. Try to make a really good croissant or omelet. Good fucking luck.

Omelets are easy as hell.

In American immigration news:
Columbus, Ohio, police are being instructed by Police Chief Elaine Bryant NOT to assist ICE during immigration operations, and instead, they are to observe federal agents and "intervene" if they witness any "misconduct."

The City of Columbus wants to use their police to interfere with immigration operations.

This the same place that had roving blacks randomly assaulting whites in the street this year was it not?

I believe that was Cincinnati, not Columbus.

Not gonna lie, this has been the funniest piece of politics for me all year. Between the Les Misérables cast loudly virtue signaling at a place they claim to hate, yet never actually leave, and the massive tug of war between the Kennedy Center, Republicans, and Hamilton over its absence for the tenth anniversary, the whole thing feels absurd in the best way.
